Open Arms Worldwide

Open Arms Worldwide Embracing children at-risk with the “open arms” of Jesus.

Embracing at risk children with the “open arms” of Jesus.
“And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” Matthew 18:5

Open Arms Brazil, in partnership with our sister organization, Comunidade Braços Abertos Brasil, works to develop and implement children’s outreach programs with the following objectives,
○ Help a child discover the hope and the future that is possible.
○ Help a c

hild understand that his/her beauty and value are found in God's eyes and in the love of Jesus Christ, and not in the circumstances in which he/she lives.
○ Invest in the character development of children at risk.
○ Start a child on the path toward a productive life of love, service, honor, and dignity before God and his/her community.
○ Develop the child’s ability to think and make decisions based on time tested biblical principles.
○ Develop the child’s imagination and love for literature, arts and sport.
○ Invest in the child’s social skills and emotional well being within an atmosphere of joy, unconditional love and acceptance.

This month, during Brazil’s campaign against child abuse and exploitation, we spent time teaching our children about healthy boundaries through “The Touch Traffic Light.” 🚦

In a safe and age-appropriate way, they learned to recognize safe, uncomfortable, and unsafe situations — and that their voices matter. Every child deserves protection, dignity, and the confidence to speak up.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit…?” — 1 Corinthians 6:19 💛

Prevention is also a form of love.

Planting trees and growing hearts 🌳❤️

The message this past Saturday challenged the children (and anyone who was listening!) to serve Christ in the present day and to be examples wherever God has placed us.

“Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 11:1) ✨

May we live what we preach!

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.””
